Ian's Potato-Vegetable Soup

This is certainly an okay recipe for jazzing up a can of cream soup. I added one can of water and used canned green beans instead of frozen veggies. I only used a few dashes of salt since the bouillon cube and canned soup are both very salty.

10.5.29 There’s one thing that I find odd about this recipe. It tells you to cook the potatoes until tender, then add and cook the veggies and bouillon cube until soft, but doesn’t tell you whether or not to drain the liquid that you have left in the pan. What you choose to do will affect the consistency of the soup, but you’ll need some liquid because a can of soup on its own won’t work. I ladled off some of the liquid in the pan but reserved it in case I needed to thin out the soup later. I just didn’t care for the cream of celery soup flavor in this. If I were to make again, I’d probably use cream of chicken soup. then use a chicken bouillon cube, maybe drain off most of the water, and add some chicken stock. I would rate it as 3 stars, my husband gave it 4, so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and rate it 4 stars. Doubtful I’ll make this one again.

My family liked this soup. For a faster meal prep, I chopped the carrots and celery in the food processor. I cooked the onions , celery and carrots as directed. I doubled the recipe and added 1/2 tsp. of thyme, 1 tsp. of garlic powder, and 1 tsp. of onion powder.

No changes

We used an extra cup of water and an extra potato. We also added Chicken, Rosemary, and Thyme. Otherwise we followed the directions. Very good!

I am appositely blown away by the taste of this soup! So rich and just wonderful. I didn't find cream of celery soup so I relaxed it with cream of mushroom. I added fresh finely chopped parsley instead of dry (I like the fresh taste better). I also mashed the vegetables after they boiled (right before serving). This recipe is definitely a keeper!
